there is engagement with gaza, engagement with syria. how close to you think israel is to being dragged into a more regional conflict? >> well, as you said, patience is running out. israel every day i think feels more and more like a villa in the jungle. we have hundreds of rockets being launched at schools and kindergartens and homes in the south. we have assad butchering over 30,000 civilians and slaughtering his own people in the north and now launching bombs at israel and bombing israeli territory and there's only that much israel will take. israel is being very cautious. it is not jumping to anything. it is not happy to heat up the region are to have it flare up but there really is only that much we would take. i think already we're taking more and showing more patience than any other country in the world would under these circumstances. i don't think the united states would stand for one missile in one school in one city in one state. so patience is running out and israel will have to retaliate and when it does, it will be strong,
